A lot to learn here: Black gang member shoots at cop. Cop hits the man 17 times with a 45 caliber handgun. Twice in the face, once in the top of the head and 6 times in vital organs. After being hit 17 times he falls to the ground but is still not dead. Lessons learned: pistol bullets don't always stop a man whose adrenaline is pumping. The black man had an SKS rifle in his car. Should have grabbed that and stuck the pistol in his pants. I have seen other videos of men fatally wounded still firing their weapons not even realizing they have been hit because of the adrenaline. Also Have seen lots of wild shots when adrenaline pumps.

I was working a concert at the Pavilion in Chicago. This was the athletics hall for Circle Campus (UIC). Some guy got down in the front row that didn't belong there and the people were complaining.
I said to him, "Hey buddy, what are you doing here? Do you have a ticket?"
He said, "Man, I'm on dust."
I said, "Are you really? You just stay there and be cool."
A few minutes later this usher comes along and starts to mess with the guy. I said, "Hey man, don't mess with him. He's on dust."
The usher said, "I don't care what he's on. He's got to go."
I said, "OK but it's your funeral." ROTFLMAO!
I recall one time when working for State of Illinois, one of the guys was out on the west end. He got rear ended so he called for the cops to come out.
The Mexican that rear ended him tried to get in the truck but the driver had the passenger door locked.
When the cops got there they grabbed him and found out he had a pistol on him with 2 spent rounds. They were trying to figure out where he shot the rounds off.
It was a good thing he didn't remember he had that pistol when he was trying to get into the truck. :-O

Also, I can tell you that bullet placement is more important than the number of bullets but given the nature of having to shoot under stress, against someone who may have a pharmacological advantage, I won't criticize someone. I carry 3 extra mags when I carry for the simple fact that sometimes you may find yourself with more than one adversary.
I am a permit to carry instructor, and firearms instructor and not just an artist.

The image is too big at normal "zoom" and you gotta squint to see the print, so your alternate in zooming in and out to catch stuff in the post.
Oh well, f*****t. I just thought I'd throw that in. Something to think about when posting, no?

I have never used a cell phone to surf the net.
I try to shorten titles so they don't take up too much space.
Do you want me to adjust resolution on videos? I don't know how to do that.

width="560" height="315" is the resolution. You can chop off either the first or last part and adjust the other and stay in proportion. You can make a graphic or video bigger or smaller that way.
Again apologies if I seemed curt. Pet peeve. All the best, Horse.

I got to hand it to you. Evan though it seems small, that's a bunch of extra weight to be lugging around in addition to a load of keys, the wallet, the phone and whatever other junk you gotta be carrying around these days. Then there's the firearm. I'll bet you don't pocket a .25.
It's enough to give ya a backache just thinking about it.

When I preview any videos and they're too big here, I delete the vid and use a link instead.

Got it up on the big screen.
Wife loved it. She's a gardener.

The shoulder rig is a good idea even for smaller 9's like the Mak I got. Even a smaller weapon can be clumsy on the hip in constricted spaces like inside a motor vehicle.
Stay safe.

I hear you on this one.
I did cosmetics deliveries for a woman in the old neighborhood in Chicago in the late 70s. She had this purple fluid that would take the kinks out of black's hair.
I would deliver it by the gallon the beauty shops on the South Side in my old Blazer. She told me, "Don't take any checks from those people." So I collected CASH. By the time I was done I had $500 to $800 on me. I stayed off the side streets. And I ALWAYS CARRIED an Astra 9mm pistol.
But one time I was making a right turn at 95th and Stony Island on SE side. There was a KABOOM off to my left. I floored it and got out of there.
When I looked at the driver door later the were little ding marks on it like they might have shot a .410 at me.
Some of those people just don't like whites. :-/

How does it look to you on your screen display? On mine, it exceeds the right-margin for a 4um page by a lot and that
makes text lines in the thread move farther to the right, as well, for the distance of the video's larger width.
If you are right-clicking on the screen display of a video as a shortcut method to copy the embed code, the width and
height dimensions displayed at a website could be larger than YouTube's default code-dimensions, which are:
width="560" height="315". Best to copy the code directly from YouTube's code-box by clicking there on the Share
option and then the Embed option.
As an extra precaution to keep a video from spilling over the right margin at the opening post of a 4um topic (which
can't be adjusted through Edit, as oversized videos in Reply posts could be), you might try reducing the width and
height dimensions to: width="400" height="250", for example, before sending it to the board.
If the issue persists and the only way to resolve it is to uprgrade or replace our computers, I'd rather just muddle along
as I have been by scrolling back and forth to read the text in a thread and/or by reducing the font to a squintably
readable range.

Almost every other site that I visit fills the screen completely. For whatever that's worth.
